We had a wonderful time at dinner. They were able to accommodate our requests, the server was very accommodating and she even let my husband look upstairs at the haunted old mortuary and where they used to store the urns. We will definitely return.

Opentable Diner

Excellent late lunch on a rainy day. Superb Irish coffee. Corned Beef and Cabbage delicious. Lamb stew superb. Wonderful service.

The food was excellent--lamb stew with a cup of Irish clam chowder for me, the Caesar salad with chicken for my companion--and the price quite reasonable. The patio dining gave a great opportunity for people-watching, and we could still hear the Irish music being played inside. Our waiter was attentive but did not rush us in any way. Be sure to carefully scrutinize your check, however -- only after I reviewed the printed receipt at my office did I notice that I had been charged not for my party's order, but for someone else's order, and that the amount of the tip was applied to the sales tax in addition to the order.

It is worth the search down a side street for this gem. Great food and the atmosphere inside and out was relaxing. The only thing loud and a little annoying was the starlings in the nearby trees. It was actually pretty funny, they were having a great time!

Food was the reason we came today. And it didn't disappoint us in that aspect at least.

I celebrated my partner's birthday here and the experience was lackluster. Although they acknowledged his birthday, we received no special treatment or enjoyed any discounts of any kind. The food was served quickly and was tasty, but the service was disappointing. Most of the staff appeared to be staring at their phones when they weren't engaged in conversations about their experiences with other customers. The background music was not Irish-inspired and didn't lend itself to the purported nature of the establishment. The place may be more interesting when live musicians are performing, but based on today's experience, I can only hope. Fortunately, there are other nearby alternatives.

Staff is honestly unfriendly, you don’t know where to sit, and food sucks.

I left this pub with every intention to come back. The server recommended the hazy ipa, I was going to have one...... I ended up having 3, thats how good they were. For apps we ordered the calamari and wings and they were so good I would fight any ghost in there to try them again. As for the main entrees, the fish and chips is what your going to want to go for...... the tarter sauce was the highlight but the food did not disappoint. Thats not to say the rest of the food was bad. The chicken skewers 9/10. The sausage roll made my brother cry 😢 out of joy. Safe to say if im ever back in this city I will be stopping here.

Very friendly place. Just make sure you have your passport with you if you are not American for age verification regardless of your age. It's required by law.

Chill and friendly. Great bartender. My friend and I were tourists, but she made us feel like neighborhood regulars.

The place was pretty great! The people and atmosphere were fun. We didn’t have anything to eat, so can’t comment on the food. Friendly service, decent beer/cider. Only complaint is no air circulation so it was hot in there. Would definitely visit again, during cooler weather

We stopped by for a drink to cool off. We made the right choice 😉! Crowd is lively and interactive. Music is not overbearing where you can still hold a conversation without yelling. We're locals but barely come to the market. This is our second stop and we're 😊.

It took over 10 minutes for the waitress to come by the table. Strike One. I ordered Clam Chowder to start with and Corn beef and cabbage. They both came at the same time. Strike two. The clam chowder was good. The corn beef and cabbage was cold, the corn beef was slightly warm but the potatoes, cabbage and carrots were cold. I do not mean room temperature, I mean cold. Strike three. The waitress was nowhere to be seen so I just at it. First bite of the vegetables and I notice there is no seasoning, just bland potatoes and bland undercooked carrots and cabbage. I highly discourage anyone eating at this place. If you are just coming in for drinks and not so good service. I say try it at your own risk.
